    This vegan elote dip is the perfect summer dip, or even taco topper. If you've never had elote corn than you should definitely change that.

    Traditional elote corn which is also known as Mexican street corn is corn on the cob smothered in a mayo, lime, chili, cilantro, cojita cheese mixture. And when you veganize those items it is divine!

    I was able to make this dip oil free and with no vegan mayo!

    Instead I used cashews which made it creamy and delicious.

    For the cojita cheese substitute, I used nutritional yeast which is a great healthier vegan sub.

    I like this in a dip form because it's much easier to eat in a dip than it is on the cob.

    Myself, husband and 9 year old were mobbing on this when I made it. We started eating is a dip and then started putting it on the taco bowl we were eating for dinner and it was just delicious.

    This is easy to make and comes together quickly which is always a bonus in my book.

    Grilled corn is the best, but I usually don't take the time to grill. So, frozen or canned corn works great! Some stores sell frozen grilled corn.

    The dip can be eaten cold or warm.

    How do you make this Vegan Elote Dip?

    • corn (fresh or frozen, thawed)
    • garlic, minced
    • jalapeno
    • red onion
    • nutritional yeast
    • Cashew cream (recipe below)
    • cilantro
    • chili powder
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 3 TB cashew cream
    • ¼ cup water

    How do you make it?

    Make your cashew cream by using a powerful blender if you don't have a powerful blender than soak your cashews in boiling water.

    Mix the water and cashews until smooth. Set aside.

    Combine all the other ingredients plus the cashew cream and combine.

    Serve with chips or place on tacos.
